Flowers make a great muse
This evening I spent some time going over the photos I’ve taken in the last week or so of the flowers and foliage in my garden.
I really enjoy photographing my garden as it grows. Each leaf, each bud, and finally each flower contains multiple photographic opportunities as they develop.
I decided to show you this photo today. Can you see how the petals of the daffodil have tiny little sparkling areas of iridescence. Until I took this photo I never realized that the petals were so … sparkly. If you can’t see it well with the photo this size, click on it and you’ll end up on my Flickr page where you can see a larger image.

I love daffodils and my husband’s Grandma planted many varieties in our garden, so we are very lucky in Spring.
Your photography is amazing and an inspiration.

I have wonderful memories of going out and splitting the bulbs with my mom every year and we would have such an amazing crop the next time they came up! I would pick a bunch and then carry them to school for my teacher, the ends wrapped in a wet paper towel covered withy plastic wrap covered with tin foil. Man, I miss daffodils here in Florida.

I love your photographs. That is an amazing photo. I love daffodils, and I’m a bit sad that I have missed the opportunity to plant blubs for our spring. Maybe next year.

I noticed you have changed your blog template. I wish I could grow flower like tulips and daffodil in my hot and humid weather..guess I have to be satisfied with whatever is available for now..
